   Summary

   Duncan’s eyes opened. He was greeted with the familiar sight of a thatched roof. His heart was beating fast. It felt as loud of as war drum even though Duncan knew no one else would hear it.

   He blinked. It was a thatched roof above him. Not woods. He was not in the woods.
   His heart was still racing though. It had been such a dream. Duncan tried to shallow. His mouth was far too dry for that though.

   He breathed in through his nose. He breathed out through his mouth. His heart was still racing as though he had actually been in a fight for his life. The mind may know it was just a dream but the body did not heed to logic.

   He wasn’t dead.

   It had just been a dream.

   There was a knocking noise that filled the air. Duncan’s eyebrows drew together. He wasn’t expecting visitors. Especially not this hour. He waited for someone to announce themself. No one did.

   Strange.

   (Princess Shaera would have described it peculiar before wrinkling her nose.)
